Rod Banner
AI Czar at the Positive Change Group. Building the intelligence layer for stakeholder engagement.
Rod describes himself as “a self-taught technologist with a decent grasp of brand and marketing.” If he has accomplished anything of significance, it usually involved quenching complexity and sharpening stories to build world-dominating, tech-centric brands.
Over the years he has helped to found, grow, and exit a series of technology companies, and been fortunate enough to work with some of the world's smartest people. Since 2022, he has been totally immersed in generative AI – appointed by the Positive Change Group to catalyse and optimise the opportunities these technologies bring to the group and its clients.
The Positive Change Group
PCG is a stakeholder engagement consultancy comprising three operating companies: Black Sun (financial and environmental reporting), People Made (brand and culture consulting), and Stratton Craig (content strategy). Together they serve over 150 global clients.
Speaking and events
Rod speaks on AI transformation, the Answer Economy, Stakeholder Science, and the future of enterprise. He hosts the annual Snowball ski conference – an exclusive gathering of business leaders and investors.
